This photo, with the blend of nature and road brings to mind the balance of nature and man. With the fires raging at Yosemite, there would be difficult decisions to be made regarding the allocation of resources, both man and machine. What is the right balance, after protecting life, should authorities protect property, important to individuals, or the park, significant to a nation ? (and many of us elsewhere) In times gone by such a fire would have burnt to its natural conclusion. Perhaps we should allow the same. Although, as we will be spending four days at Yosemite in early October, self interest is swaying my wish to see it preserved 🙂
